You're claiming that someone who performs a legal act will lose their job for performing an illegal act, despite the act that is being claimed as illegal is legal.
You CAN lose your job. You can fight to get it back or be compensated, but you can still be stood down, or put on administrative leave, or be sued in which you have to organise a response
How are the two even related?
And thatâs still a threat. Normal people donât wanna be sued, have their licenses revoked, etc regardless of how âlegallyâ theyâre protectedâŚ
Clearly, the discussions are about NO LONGER HAVING LEGAL PROTECTIONS
so it doesnât matter whether itâs specifically legal now. The places that ARE protecting it have doctors that do the procedures without second guessing, which is what youâre wanting. Theyâre not âbeing politicalâ about it, right? I wonder whyâŚ
Thatâs not the case for anti abortion states
Not for treating ectopic pregnancies
Itâs not clear what they can do. They say it themselves
Youâre inventing some weird narrative where doctors are responsible even though theyâre licensed by the state lol
so every doctor in every state that is not performing abortions to treat ectopic pregnancies is doing it for politics, not for "preserving their job" or whatever.
Youâre overlooking the legal and social threat of not having job security when politicians say theyâre targeting abortions now
People arenât robots, timely legal information and occupational insecurity are factors youâre not considering, and they donât have timely access to legal information that you imply they must have
What they and literally everyone else in those states hear is, âabortions are illegalâ
Doctors will go on standby until itâs been confirmed, as they are doing
Thatâs not the doctors doing âpoliticsâ. Thatâs what you do when youâre told the rules are now changing.You wait for clarification
You personally seem reassured. The doctors donât
Maybe youâre the one doing âpoliticsâ aye, blaming doctors that are literally employees for something the state threatens to do
Youâve reduced it all down to what the law says right now outside of whatâs literally happening to it changing
Youâve ignored that doctors are professionals and canât just keep their head down and carry on. They need to be proactive
Theyâre subject to the changing law, theyâre exposed to lawsuits, and their own staff WANT to stop abortions and so report
A workplace doesnât just run on law and rules. Surely, you have a job. Work politics can kill an environment, and when those politics are both within and above, people stop working.
Again, frontline workers have to make calls in the moment. Any hesitation will lead to deferring the issue until itâs literally life threatening (which may be too late).
The legality of abortion has introduced far too much doubt. Doctors arenât confident they are acting within the law
You are confident⌠because youâre not in a position to have to make those choices
They have to
Do you have the same reservations with medical malpractice being illegal, therefore requiring doctors to consult with lawyers any time they want to perform any procedure to make sure it won't run afoul of those laws?
Youâre not advocating for that
You believe the law is clear
They donât. Like you said, they have lawyers
They donât think itâs as clear cut as you think
I believe the people working in the industry, rather than some dude surfing for political content
